Chr Hansen A/S : Update on Ukraine and Russia

Mar 11. 2022 12:20 GTM

We are appalled by the escalating violence in Ukraine and condemn the Russian invasion in the strongest possible terms. Our hearts and thoughts go out to the people of Ukraine.

As a global supplier to the food and health industries, we have responsibilities towards fulfilling the basic needs of civilians for food and health products, also in Russia. For now, we will therefore continue to supply ingredients for basic food and human health products, in line with global sanctions. We are discontinuing supply of products that fall outside these categories.

We have decided that all profit from our continued operations in Russia during the conflict will be donated to humanitarian aid in support of Ukraine.

We continuously evaluate further potential changes in our activities as the situation develops. At the same time, we are specifically monitoring sanctions and people safety in the supply chain. Our top priority continues to be on the safety of our affected employees and their families in Ukraine.
